MAHEM.

"Technology has drastically changed the way we wage war in the modern world. The days of two masses of humanity standing in parallel lines and charging at each other have been replaced by asymmetric deployments, cyber attacks, and guerrilla warfare."

* Liquid metal missiles. MAHEM!!

"The Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition (MAHEM) is a weapon being developed by DARPA that would utilize molten metal to penetrate enemy armor. The molten metal would be propelled by electromagnetic fields from explosions. The munition would be delivered to a target as a warhead 'packaged into a missile, projectile or other platform.' It would penetrate the armor of an enemy vehicle then explode when it gets inside, destroying the vehicle from the inside out. DARPA predicts the weapon will have greater efficiency, control, and precision than conventional explosively formed penetrators."

THIS SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE THE SHAPED-CHARGE WEAPON THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT MAHEM IS NOT THE SAME FOR SOME REASON? SHAPED-CHARGED DESTROYS FROM THE OUTSIDE-IN WHEREAS MAHEM "PENETRATES" INTACT AND DESTROYS FROM THE INSIDE-OUT? IS THAT IT?
